A dispute adjustment differs from the original gift amount

For GiveCampus reporting.

A dispute, withdrawal/reversal, processor fee and deposit are separate records/events. The dispute-created handler records the dispute on the payment/gift and takes fee information from the processor's balance transaction; that is not a fixed universal fee or proof the fee appears in a particular deposit. Deposit reporting also includes linked payment reversals, separately from ordinary refunds.

To explain an unexpected deposit adjustment, reconcile the gift/payment, dispute ID and state, processor balance transactions, and deposit/reversal IDs and dates. Do not label a particular difference as the standard dispute fee, infer the case was won/lost, or assume the disputed principal must appear as a negative row in the same report without those records. The local source cannot report a customer's current dispute outcome.
